Let's discuss Chapter 51.
After several such incidents, Niu Dabao, instigated by his wife, beat his wife again.
After being beaten once or twice, the new daughter-in-law couldn't take it anymore. "You said I was abusing you? Fine, I'll give you what you want."
So, while Niu Dabao was away from home, the new daughter-in-law and Niu's mother had a huge fight. No matter how fierce Niu's mother was, she couldn't beat the new daughter-in-law's youth, and Niu's mother got beaten up quite a bit.
Later, Niu Dabao stopped caring and closed his eyes as if he knew nothing, letting the two of them do whatever they wanted.
As a result, the Niu family had a small argument every three days, a big argument every five days, and a fight every ten days, making the whole village uneasy.
To put it bluntly, Niu Dabao is a fence-sitter and easily swayed. If he had been more assertive, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
Qin Xiaoxiao cracked melon seeds with great speed, thinking to herself: Serves her right. She had to cause trouble when she could have had a good life. Now she's caught in the middle, pleasing neither side.
After finishing talking about the Niu family's affairs, Aunt Liu offered another piece of gossip.
"Did you know that Huang's youngest son has been getting close to a female educated youth lately?"
Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she quickly moved closer to Aunt Liu.
Aunt Liu smiled and glanced at Qin Xiaoxiao beside her.
This girl is quite perceptive.
Let me elaborate.
Aunt Liu was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
Qin Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "I'll just tell you the specifics of what happened."
Everyone understood and nodded in unison.
"Hurry up and tell me more."
I learned a new word; they're really cultured.
"Everyone knows Liu Meijuan, right? That's her. I saw Huang's youngest son deliver eggs to her with my own eyes."
Everyone was shocked upon hearing this and gasped in unison.
Eggs!
Eggs are no longer just ordinary food. These days, hens are called "chicken butt banks." Eggs can not only provide nutrition but also be exchanged for money. Without some legitimate connections, who would be willing to give away money?
Now no one doubted Liu Meijuan's affair with Huang's youngest son. Even if Aunt Liu was unreliable, she wouldn't bring up eggs.
"What do the Huang family mean? They won't agree, will they?"
Aunt Liu pursed her lips, "That's hard to say. The Huang family has high aspirations; they want to marry a cultured educated youth to improve their family's reputation!"
This time, Qin Xiaoxiao also pouted, completely agreeing with Aunt Liu's words.
Let alone the Huang family, which family in the village doesn't have that idea? Who doesn't want their descendants to be cultured?
Having education was a prerequisite for working in a factory in the city. Having someone in your family working in the city was incredibly prestigious.
Isn't the Qin family a perfect example?
Why do the villagers envy the Qin family? It's because her father and second uncle both work in the city, plus the village head. The Qin family can practically do whatever they want in the village.
Without Qin Xiaoxiao even needing to ask, a dozen or so aunties and sisters-in-law shared the gossip they knew one after another. They didn't even part with the sunflower seeds they had eaten until it was almost time to finish work, at which point the dozen or so people separated and started working again.
Qin Xiaoxiao was a slow worker to begin with, and after listening to gossip all afternoon without doing any work, she became anxious. She sat on the stool without looking up and started working. Her serious expression made Qin Feng, who came to inspect the area, feel sorry for her.
My little one is so capable!
I'll go to the commune tomorrow and ask if there are any educated youth who have made progress, and I'll apply for one for my little one.
With my little one being so earnest, I couldn't bear not to give her an award.
Aunt Liu and the others worked efficiently. Seeing that Qin Xiaoxiao had only worked for half an hour and had only covered less than two meters, they all came to help. In less than ten minutes, the work that should have taken an entire afternoon was finished.
Qin Xiaoxiao stared at the ground, completely bewildered.
That's it?
This work is enough for her to do for three days, okay?
Looking back at the neatly arranged weeds, Qin Xiaoxiao began to question the meaning of life.
Is she really that bad?
Surely not?
She had survived the apocalypse, after all. Even if she couldn't compare to these women who had worked in the fields for years, she shouldn't be too bad off.
I think surpassing Miao Feifei shouldn't be a problem, right?
Qin Feng stood on the edge of the field without moving. Seeing that Qin Xiaoxiao's work had been finished by others while she was still standing there in a daze, he couldn't help but wonder if his decision had been too hasty.
This award is undeserved for his little one!
well!
My niece is useless at everything, what should I do?
If this were in the city, it would be easier; you could just spend some money to buy a job. But this is the countryside, where people rely entirely on the produce of the land to have enough to eat. If it weren't for the Qin family, someone like Xiaoxiao would starve to death.
At this moment, Qin Feng was extremely grateful that the Qin family had stayed in their hometown and had not moved, and that he had become the brigade leader. Otherwise, his eldest niece might have starved to death if she had gone to another place to work in the countryside.
Qin Feng was in a bad mood and frowned as he walked back, intending to avoid seeing them altogether. But there were always a few clueless people who were courting disaster.
Huang Yuan stood happily in front of Qin Feng, pointing to his achievements of the morning, and asked with great pride, "Captain, how do you think I did this morning? Isn't it much better than the past few days?"
After a month in the countryside, he was finally starting to adapt to rural life. Today was the busiest day he had ever had. Seeing Qin Feng passing by, he wanted to show him his abilities and, incidentally, increase his favorability towards him.
Unexpectedly, just when Qin Feng was feeling annoyed and looking for a place to vent, Huang Yuan walked right into his life.
Qin Feng gave Huang Yuan a polite glance in the direction he was pointing, and his face immediately darkened.
"Is this the work you've done? Look at yourself. I'm not trying to be mean, but is this how you do your job? Look at all those weeds. The roots haven't even been pulled out yet, and they've all grown back in two or three days. You keep doing this little bit of work over and over again. When will this ever end?"
Look at all those things you pulled out! Couldn't you just put them all together? They're scattered everywhere, making such a mess, and you even stepped on them several times. How are you going to feed the pigs with that?
Do you understand waste? Do you know what it means to waste national resources?
Huang Yuan was stunned by Qin Feng's words, and after thinking about it carefully, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Qin Feng is truly malicious.
Huang Yuan was so angry that his teeth itched, but he didn't dare to argue back and quickly admitted his mistake.
"Captain, I was wrong. I didn't do my job well. I thought I had learned a little skill and wanted to show off, but I ended up becoming a laughing stock."
My vanity got the better of me; it was a mistake, and I disappointed you.
Huang Yuan sincerely apologized, hoping to avoid Qin Feng holding a grudge.
But Qin Feng was not about to let him go.
I've caught you! Who gave you the right to toy with my little girl's feelings? Who gave you the right to scheme against her job and money?
Now that you've fallen into my hands, you deserve your bad luck.
Qin Feng stood on the ground and cursed Huang Yuan from head to toe, spitting and spitting all over his face until Huang Yuan's face turned blue before he let him go.
